Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Wasn't Toobin caught jerking off during a Zoom meeting? I only bring it up because he's always been a cringe establishment creep who's analysis and opinions I've felt comfortable completely ignoring.
Edit: Yes, here we go
CNN Chief Legal Analyst Suspended by The New Yorker for Masturbating During Zoom Call
Tuggin' Toobin
Toobin Tuggin' seems like a nice new euphamism...
"I thought I had muted the Zoom video" - that's the thing, muting is for mics 😂
Yeah fucking weird for him to discuss violating a gag order on social media when he was using similar tools to be a creepy flasher sex pest.
My point wasn't that it's weird for him to discuss anything, but that it's odd that anyone would want to listen to him, or take him seriously.
There's plenty of other legal commentators who've made the same point, and they have the added benefit of not being bootlicking sex pests.
Put him in jail already.
TL;DR
Toobin says the following is a violation:
Trump’s post, quoting a Fox News host, reads: “’They are catching undercover Liberal Activists lying to the Judge in order to get on the Trump Jury,’ Jesse Watters.”
....and still nothing happened.
Didnt the judge impose that less than 48 hours ago... Im not suprised, but that was quick.
I'm sure if they keep slapping his wrists enough he'll eventually start to get some wrist strain or possibly even some light bruising.
Reposting an AI generated video of Trump saying he is dumb as fuck is hardly being an activist. Dude's cloaca hurts so bad from those memes.
